I just skimmed the first chapter of The Science of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and it is awesome.
Still need to finish Blind Watchers first though, so now I think I'll try reading it at a faster pace.
I'll leave you with a quote:
Which brings us neatly to God. The Guide was begun just before reason trotted to the back of the bus and had a quiet smoke, leaving the front seats to be occupied by the gibbering prophets of the New Age.
The entire thing seems to be written like that.
These "the science-behind..." books, when done well, are such fun to read.
